I was getting really worried near the end of level 4 when I had very little food and was afraid we would starve, but the beginning of level 5 has enough to keep us going. Halfway through level 5 now and being careful to not use too much.

I thought I had hit a wall on a timed puzzle on level 5. My computer is not good enough to get me through a door. I found a person on the Grimrock forum who took my save and played past the door. Thanks to him, I am on my way again.

Well, I thought I was done with this game. There is a timed puzzle on level 5 that is very difficult. I have to cross a path of 22 trapdoors that are opening and closing quite fast. My fingers just couldn't keep up with it. Then I spied my Cyber Snipa game pad next to my keyboard, grabbed my husband and sat him down next to it. He did the right and left directions on it and I did the up and down on my keyboard. Didn't take us too long to get through it.

I had a lucky break on level 6. A big bad Ogre was chasing us and we ducked into a room and slammed the gate. I thought we were safe, but somehow he got in (through a portal, I guess) and he hit us before I knew he was there. He slammed us again, knocking us right next to a resurrection crystal. We fought toe to toe till all were nearly dead and then turned and got resurrected. That was enough to keep us going till we killed him. I am nearly through level 6 but have a tricky puzzle to do yet.

Level 6 was a tough one but fun. There was a timed puzzle that was the hardest yet and then a room full of lizards with no escape. I finally got past those. One good thing, there was plenty of food from snails that respawn and I can return when I need more. We are getting stronger with better equipment and the fire demons and giant snails are not so scary anymore. Onward and downward to dungeon level 7.
